Le Petit Spirou

A long-running French-Belgian spin-off from Spirou et Fantasio, Le Petit Spirou centers on the mischievous childhood of the titular hero, reimagined as a schoolboy. Launched at Dupuis in 1990, the series is most strongly associated with writer Tome and artists Janry and Bruno Gazzotti, who crafted its signature blend of gentle, gag-driven humor and nostalgic schoolyard antics. With twenty albums released to date, it stands as a beloved, enduring expansion of the Spirou universe, offering a lighter, more whimsical perspective on the character's formative years.
